The 2017-18 campaign for Ipswich Town was a season of mid-table consolidation as The Tractor Boys secured a respectable 12th-place finish in the Championship. Leading the charge was the sensational forward Martyn Waghorn, whose 16 goals, complemented by an impressive 13 assists, proved vital in a solid, if unspectacular, year. The season, however, was defined by the end of an era, with manager Mick McCarthy departing in April after five years at the helm, while Waghorn's brilliant individual form ultimately secured the club a significant financial windfall upon his sale that summer.
